^ Get the proper drivers for your motherboard from the Asus website and install them. Vista (32-bit or 64-bit depending on your Windows 7 edition) drivers should work; they do on mine.

[j1n M@tt]

@anksin
except audio driver, all other new driver versions from asus works fine in Win 7 RC. download them and install.

[anksin]

thnx i will surely search for the drivers 1st

vista drivers will get isntalled in windows 7???

[Kl@w-24]

^ Yes, they will.

[mad_max]

thnx i will surely search for the drivers 1st

vista drivers will get isntalled in windows 7???

if it doesn't install normally,install the driver in the compatibility mood for vista.....

[shyamno]

I am mounting the image and then starting the setup...but it shows me the error message "Windows Setup cannot find a location to store temporary files.To install Windows,make sure that a partition on your boot disk has 685 MB of free space."

I am having 21 GB of free space in drive C:.And other partitions also have sufficient space.

I think as I am using two hard disk (previous one already have win XP) so it is conflicting with the setup ??? Is it so ?? What should I do ?

[Lohen]

[vamsi_krishna]

When you open 'Help and support', click on the link 'browse Help Topics'. Or simply search desired topics in the search bar which is located just below the title bar.

[himadri_sm]

my system config is in my siggy..i have a few questions..1. how much space should i use for installation?will 20gb be enough?i generally install my softwares on a different partition.
2.will there be any problems in installing the drivers that i've currently installed in my 32bit xp?

Microsoft to Offer Family Discount on Windows 7?

Just plunk in the new product code GFC-00236 into Google Product Search and you'll see several online retailers offering the upgrade in the neighborhood of $140. The family discount price leak was first reported by ZDNet's Ed Bott, who found the upgrade being offered for just under $136.95 on a small, independent retailer's Web site.

everybody i need ur help....
I downloaded Windows 7 RTM version....it even matches the SHA-1 hashes provided by Microsoft
So after I've burned it(verified it as well)I install it on my LT but in it Ultimate version is installed by default and choices to install other versions of WIndows 7 does not pop up......and there is only 1 language(English) in it....tell me what went wrong??
I formatted and re-installed again...bt the problem persists....
I also downloaded another version of windows 7 RTM whose SHA-1 did not match the ones of Microsoft but the OS choices menu popped up(Ultimate,Starter,professional etc.) and it also had other languages.....wat is wrong?
Probably thats why even hazar's activator(leaked lenovo key) is not working on my LT.....help plz...

[desiibond]

@psiknight99, for standard version, you will be provided with lot of language options through windows update once the OS is installed. Once you install the OS, go to update manager and search for updates and you will see around 35 language packs in "optional updates"

To get the version choice when you install, open the ISO in an ISO manager like UltraISO and delete the file "ei.cfg" in the folder "Sources".

[desiibond]

yes. those are test versions. Once MS releases region specific versions, we will see language options during installation.

I have heard PCs/ laptops purchased after 26th June will get free upgrades to Windows 7 OEM.

Also one can upgrade from a 32 bit Vista to a 64 bit Windows Seven (This would be a clean install)

Now with Windows Vista using SLIC 2.0 for activation and Windows Seven using SLIC 2.1 for activation, how will the activation be done.

Super cool man it'll work...i just googled it out.....but do you have any idea why i'm experiencing this??
i mean sha codes are the same so there shouldn't be ANY difference....

Sony laptops can't use Windows 7's XP mode due to disabled hardware virtualization

The consumer electronics giant has said it will enable Intel's Virtual Technology (VT), which supports Windows XP Mode in the forthcoming Windows 7, only on selected Sony Vaio models in the future. The Z series Vaio - priced $1,719 - won't be one of the machines selected.

i currently installed Win7 build7600 on my pc

(*config, u can see in my siggy)

if i try to open 3 - 4 programs @ a time, it just crashes and shows BSOD

[desiibond]

^^ stick to the official releases. you never know what tweaks are done in those pirated builds.

[dIgItaL_BrAt]

@psiknight99 : we are treading into a gray area,by talking about pirated releases...i suggest you refrain from doing so...
